168: Chapter 168 is useless to me.

Inside Jinling City

On the top floor of a certain restaurant

The ugly man sat alone, enjoying a table full of delicacies.

Before long, the middle-aged man appeared before them.

"The people from the Golden Spirit Sect have arrived. Their Great Elder Jiang Qixian and Fifth Elder Shao Yin are here."

Wu Dong said coldly.

"Good. We'll make sure they all stay here."

Yuan Jiamu said.

"Additionally, there are people from Baijue Mountain—Qiao Feiang, the successor of the Baijue Mountain's Spell Arts Legacy, and Lin Ming, the Disciple of Master Yun Hua from Yuanxu Mountain."

Wu Dong continued.

However, when he mentioned Qiao Feiang, his tone became significantly more solemn.

"Baijue Mountain."

Yuan Jiamu's expression grew even colder.

He hadn't forgotten that Baijue Mountain was one of the forces that had destroyed their Bliss Sect.

His attention also temporarily shifted to Qiao Feiang.

"Lin Ming of Yuanxu Mountain, the Disciple of that newly ascended Master Yun Hua."

Yuan Jiamu noticed Lin Ming afterward, his words full of wariness.

After all, a Nirvana Ancestor was an existence they could only look up to.

"The higher-ups said Baijue Mountain has already taken action. Ruan Wu and the others likely died at Qiao Feiang's hands. Once we finish this time, we should withdraw."

Wu Dong said in a low voice.

Once the people from Baijue Mountain arrived, he and Yuan Jiamu probably wouldn't be able to hold them off.

Therefore, they couldn't stay here any longer.

Once they finished this task, they had to retreat.

"How is Senior Martial Uncle's thing coming along?"

Yuan Jiamu asked.

"Once we finish this time, it will be enough."

Wu Dong said.

The people of the entire Changming City would be enough.

If the people arriving outside dared to enter, he wouldn't mind sending them to the Pure Land together.

A Disciple of a Nirvana Ancestor?

So what?

They had long been in a life-and-death struggle with these so-called Righteous Path forces. If he dared to enter, he would also be sent to the Pure Land.

" very good."

Yuan Jiamu still had a cold expression.

He naturally agreed with Wu Dong's words; it remained to be seen if these so-called gentlemen of integrity dared to enter.

Thinking of this, Yuan Jiamu picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

...

Outside the city

After some discussion, the group decided to enter the city.

They didn't want to abandon the nearly fifty thousand people in the city, nor did they want to let the Bliss Sect Disciples escape.

"This Formation shouldn't be an offensive type."

After the group approached Changming City, Fifth Elder Shao Yin made some observations.

"Be careful."

At that moment, Great Elder Jiang Qixian suddenly spoke.

He sensed an inexplicable power targeting the Divine Soul level. This power would induce the practitioners' Divine Souls, potentially even reaching the level of brainwashing.

As a practitioner in the Bitter Sea Realm, Great Elder Jiang Qixian's Divine Soul power was not weak, allowing him to resist the induction of this soul power.

Fifth Elder Shao Yin was the same.

He was worried about the other three companions.

"I'm fine."

Qiao Feiang shook his head.

Although he wasn't a powerhouse of the Bitter Sea Realm, as someone who specialized in the path of the Divine Soul, he had constructed a series of protective measures the moment he sensed this power, preventing it from eroding his Divine Soul.

"I'm fine too."

Lin Ming smiled.

This Divine Soul level power was interesting, but unfortunately, it was a bit too weak to have any effect on Lin Ming.

And Lin Ming had also roughly figured out the function of this Formation.

Afterward, Lin Ming glanced at his Junior Sister.

"I'm fine."

Su Lianxue said.

Divine Soul attacks were currently what Su Lianxue feared the least. Even though her Divine Soul power was far inferior to her previous life, it wasn't something just anyone could mess with.

The fact that Su Lianxue was unaffected was attributed to her carrying an Origin Weapon granted by the ancestor to protect the Divine Soul.

Otherwise, with her cultivation in the Sea Opening Realm, it would be impossible for her to resist this influence.

Seeing that everyone was fine, Great Elder Jiang Qixian took the first step into Changming City.

The streets of Changming City were deserted, and the silence was eerily terrifying.

Great Elder Jiang Qixian frowned; he seemed to have sensed something. He walked into a house and saw several people sitting on stools with fanatical smiles on their faces.

It was the same in several houses in a row.

They were sitting on stools or lying on beds, all with the same expression.

Among them, they also saw several Disciples wearing Golden Spirit Sect uniforms, who were in the same state.

"I cannot dispel this Divine Soul level influence."

Great Elder Jiang Qixian placed a hand on a Disciple to examine them.

He discovered that the Disciple's Divine Soul had been eroded by some kind of power, but he was unable to break it.

Qiao Feiang also investigated their Divine Souls and reached the same conclusion. If they rashly attacked this power, it might damage these people's Divine Souls or even kill them.

But if this continued, it was only a matter of time before these people died.

Qiao Feiang seemed to have thought of something and fell into deep thought.

"If you want to save them, we must find the people from the Bliss Sect."

Lin Ming said at this time.

Lin Ming took a brief look and saw that these people's Divine Souls were indeed eroded by a special power.

However, for Lin Ming, dispelling this power was not difficult.

But compared to dispelling the power, simply breaking the Formation seemed much easier.

Lin Ming had almost seen through everything about this Formation.

"Exactly."

Fifth Elder Shao Yin nodded.

By finding the Bliss Sect members and the location of the Formation, they might be able to save the entire city.

"The power here is obstructing my Divine Soul. Let's split up and search."

Great Elder Jiang Qixian said in a low voice.

He had originally intended to use his Divine Soul power to cover the entire Changming City to find the Bliss Sect members.

But he found that his Divine Soul was obstructed by some power and could not extend very far.

In that case, they could only use the most primitive method.

"Then I will move with Lin Ming and Su Lianxue."

Qiao Feiang said.

The three of them all had strong trump cards, so it didn't matter if they didn't move with Great Elder Jiang Qixian and Fifth Elder Shao Yin.

Furthermore, if they moved together, their status might distract the two Elders, so they simply decided not to move with them.

"I understand."

Great Elder Jiang Qixian understood Qiao Feiang's meaning and agreed with his idea.

The five of them then split into three groups.

Lin Ming and the others together, while the two Immortal Masters of the Bitter Sea Realm went their separate ways.

Once the location of the Bliss Sect members or the Formation's core was found, they were to notify the others immediately.

They then dispersed, searching in three different directions.

"Lin Ming, do you have any ideas?"

Qiao Feiang looked at Lin Ming and asked.

After spending some time together, Lin Ming felt increasingly extraordinary to him, and he was beginning to find Lin Ming somewhat inscrutable.
